If you can’t beat them join them – that’s the collective approach of church boards and clergy this year in the City of Camrose, relating to the Christian celebration of Easter.

Recognizing that the sacred holiday has quite sadly become far better known for the Easter bunny and chocolate eggs than Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, Camrose church leaders have embarked on a novel approach this year for worshippers. In a show of togetherness, regardless of which church you attend or religion you endorse, this year you will be asked to make an offering to two collection plates at your place of worship on Sunday, April 1. In addition to your weekly tithe offering in the traditional plate, this year, it will be mandatory for every church attendee to bring one chocolate Easter egg for the second collection plate. It’s the first annual Camrose Christian Chocolate Drive. So, what will become of the expected half-ton truckload of creamy and delicious chocolate? In the spirit of Christianity, it will be re-gifted. Each chocolate delight will be tagged with a short story on the real reason for our Easter celebration.

“We want citizens to know that Easter weekend is not simply time off work to feast on guilty pleasures”, notes University of Alberta Augustana Campus religious studies professor Dr. G. Ullible. The treasures will be held in cold storage until Big Valley Jamboree weekend in Camrose. On this other infamous long weekend, local church ministers, pastors and priests will venture onto the concert grounds handing out these treats to young people who, according to Dr. Ullible, “could clearly use a bit of religion in their life as a wise and healthier alternative to other enticing temptations”.

Sizing up ‘Gum Boots’ in New Zealand, is Allen Price of Sedgewick. In an email to The Booster, Allen noted that all farm workers seem to wear this style of footwear. To these travellers, the popular local boot seemed a lot like our traditional rubber boots – not all that special! The Prices travelled extensively throughout New Zealand, enjoyed it immensely and were blessed with terrific weather – and amazing reading. For his effort, we’re rewarding Allen with a cheque for $20.00.

Letters to the Editor Happy More-than-equal Light!

Hey! It’s 7 p.m. and still light out. Life is good.

Okay, so this is belated by one week. But it’s not too late to celebrate.

In fact, I was invited to an “Equal Light Day” party.

Equal Light Day is one of two days in the year when day and night are both exactly 12 hours. You probably know those days as the equinox. Here in the northern hemisphere, last week’s Equal Light Day marked the official beginning of spring. (Of course, on the prairies, astronomy may say the equinox marks the beginning of spring, but our weather doesn’t always take the hint).

For my buddies and relatives in Australia and the rest of the southern hemisphere, this equinox marks the beginning of autumn.

Back to the Equal Light Day party. I thought it was a clever idea of my friends. They’re interested in astronomy. They send text messages about eclipses and times when certain stars or planets are visible. Made sense that they’d have an Equal Light Day party.

More than an excuse for a party though. I thought my friends just made up Equal Light Day for an excuse to have a party, it turns out that in some circles this is a very big deal.

For thousands of years, people have celebrated the spring equinox with rituals and traditions. Many early peoples celebrated because their food supplies would soon be restored. Early Egyptians built the Great Sphinx, so that it points directly toward the rising sun on the day of the spring equinox. In Christianity, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox–coming next Sunday.

The spring equinox also marks the beginning of Nowruz, the Persian New Year (which I’d never heard of until the Equal Light Party invitation). The celebration lasts 13 days (almost two weeks). Now that’s serious celebration!

In 2009, the United Nations officially registered Nowruz on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In 2010, the United Nations General Assembly recognized the International Day of Nowruz.

Who knew? And the point is…So why is this relevant on a Tuesday in March for people in East Central Alberta? Well, of course, the equinox signals that we’ve made it through another winter. Sure, there might be another winter storm or two but we know that the back of winter has been broken. That’s worth celebrating.

But this did get me thinking about light and dark and the meaning of life. (When you’re over 70, you have the luxury of letting your thoughts meander into stuff like that, while other people are out working hard and saving the world or possibly misusing Facebook data.)

Light has a good reputation. Light goes with lightheartedness. In stories of good and evil, light gets to be the good guy.

Dark has a bad reputation. Dark motives are suspect. Dark subjects are depressing. Dark is evil. As a child, I was scared of the dark, and as an adult I would rather turn away from darkness.

But think about it. On this planet, we have light and dark in equal measure. Twice a year we have equal light and dark within 24 hours. Over the course of a year, no matter where we live on the planet, we have light and dark in equal measure. There might be something to be said for learning to appreciate both.

Letters are welcomed but please limit them to 400 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only name of writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted.

Water park

This is my first letter to The Camrose Booster regarding any complaints I may have had in the 68 years that I have lived in Camrose. I have many wonderful memories of Camrose and my life here.

At my age of 83 (on April 3, if anyone cares), I must speak up about the median that runs through Camrose on 48 Avenue, otherwise known as Highway 13. I drove downtown today (March 20) as I often do and was yet again reminded of what bothers me. It is the slop that I must drive in to get there. No use washing your car right now, unless you enjoy throwing your money away.

Over the years, I have heard so many complimen-

tary remarks about Camrose. One familiar comment is how clean Camrose is.

I cannot agree at this time that “My Camrose” is a clean city. Every winter it is the same: maybe ever since the median was installed. I’ve heard from many people that the City cannot afford to clean the median.

Shame on Camrose, shame on us.

Evelyn Hrudko, Camrose Bridge work

March 26 is the day when the city of Camrose is scheduled to close 48 Avenue between 51 Street to 53 Street. This is going to affect traffic flow from now to Aug. 31. I am dreading the huge traffic jams on 47 Avenue, Grand Drive, 50 Avenue and others such as 51 Avenue.

I am a part-time taxi driver since June 1, 1993.

In my experience as being a taxi driver, there have not been any streets shut down to this degree. This will make taxi driving very difficult. I am sure taxis are not the only delivery companies who will be affected.

Canada Post, pizza delivery drivers, Camrose Delivery Service, other delivery ser-

vices, Camrose Community Bus, as well the Rose City Handicap Van service will be affected too.

I am well aware that this project needs to be done for the good of our community. I am just making people aware that this closure will affect how people get around this city. So, make sure that your family, yourselves and all the people in your world have a plan to have alternative routes, so that this will not catch any one by surprise.

Now, this letter is written way too late to make the paper before this closure. So, by the time you read this, I sure hope all of you are coping with this huge change, which will be affecting our community for the next five months.

Remember when this project is done, this will affect your children for many generations to come. You can get through this hurdle and Camrose will be better off because of what you as people have allowed this city to achieve.

Lorne Wesley Paul Vanderwoude, Camrose

Still percolating

Okay, this is a long way from “my friends had an Equal Light Day party.” Great food, lots of laughter, and fun to celebrate the lengthening days which I so appreciate about Alberta.

But I’m still percolating about “light and dark in equal measure.” There must be a reason for that.

Perhaps rather than turning away from darkness (literally and symbolically), it would serve us well to explore the gifts of darkness and maybe even the dark side of too much light. Ponder, ponder, reflect, reflect. ***

Chester Ronning School replacement funded in Alberta budget, Premier Notley to visit

By Murray Green

Funding in the provincial government’s budget will include the replacement of Chester Ronning School on the same site.

“This is great news for Battle River. We have had more than five decades of service to students in the current Chester Ronning School and we are looking forward to a new, state of the art school in which to serve generations of students to come,” said Battle River School Division board chair Kendall Severson.

The modernization of Chester Ronning School was number one on the BRSD capital list. It has significant mechanical, electrical and structural issues that need to be addressed.

This project was approved last year, but not funded. As inspections and needs audits have been done over the last year, the question of whether or not it made sense to modernize did come up.

Ultimately, the government made the decision to replace the school. BRSD learned of the decision on March 22 when the Premier visited Camrose and toured the school herself.

She is returning on Tuesday March 27 to make the official announcement.

“As an educator, I believe building new schools is one of the most important things we can do. It’s an investment

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Chester Ronning School, built in 1960s, will be replaced with a new modernized facility.

in our children and in our future. We’re playing catch up after years of neglect and cuts and the replacement of Chester Ronning will create a new safe and caring school for Camrose,” said Bruce Hinkley, MLA for Wetaskiwin-Camrose.

The 2018 Capital Plan will invest $393 million for 20 new schools across the province. This money will support planning for and building modern school facilities, putting

students and their learning first.

“Our government knows that stability in the school system helps students and their families, and we will continue to protect these core services for Albertans. We know that investing in education is one of the most important investments we can make in our province’s future, and that is why we will continue to make these important investments,” said David Eggen,

Alberta Minister of Education.

The government plans to provide new spaces for Alberta’s growing student population with 20 new school projects scheduled to start this year.

The 20 projects comprise seven new schools, seven replacements, three modernizations, one addition to an existing school and two projects that have been approved for design.

By investing in education, the province is creating

jobs, while working to alleviate enrolment pressures in growing communities and addressing urgent issues in other schools across Alberta.

Budget 2018 allocates $393 million for these new projects, which are expected to be complete for the 2022-23 school year.

“Our kids deserve to learn and grow in modern classrooms. That’s why we are improving existing schools and building new ones where they’re needed.

With our announcement of 20 new and modernized school projects, we are making long overdue progress and making sure all young Albertans can get a great education,” said Premier Rachel Notley, after the Alberta budget was presented.

New schools will address pressures in urban areas of Edmonton, Calgary, Grande Prairie and Lethbridge, while the replacement schools will be located in Delia, Provost, Tilley, Brooks, St. Albert, Stony Plain and Camrose.

These 20 school projects will create more than 4,900 jobs. For almost all of the projects, construction is scheduled to begin in 2019, after design work is complete.

Dance festivals feed economy

By Murray Green

The study is in. Camrose generates about $4.5 million into the local economy through dance festivals at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Last year, the Lougheed Centre had nine dance festivals that had 4,938 participants and 11,909 people attending the shows.

“This study is based on a 10-week dance season from last year. We have even more dance festivals this year. We are up to 11 now,” revealed Nick Beach, general manager at the Lougheed Centre.

The average festival is three days in length and is held in Camrose from the beginning of March to the middle of May. “The Lougheed Centre is generating a significant economic impact and this is just a snapshot of one season. This year, we are closer to averaging four days per festival. We have one that is two days, three that are three days and the rest are four or five days, so we have been growing since last year,” he added.

The Economic Impact Study estimated accommodation, gas, grocery, restaurant, liquor and retail shopping purchases.

Dancers not only attend from the surrounding areas; they are coming from such places as Bonnyville, Edson, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Rocky Mountain House and Lethbridge that acquire lengthy stays in Camrose.

“We have a long list of communities of where the dancers are coming from.

Most of the people from the various communities are staying here and not commuting, it’s just too far to drive back and forth.”

The impact is a nice inconvenience. “When you can’t get into a restaurant, or it takes longer to get service, it is kind of a good thing. It means that the festivals have a pretty positive impact on the community. They have a good and positive effect on the business community.”

The Welcome Dancers booklet, printed by The Camrose Booster, outlines the dance festivals and offers some coupons for guests to attend local businesses, especially including downtown businesses.

“Dance festivals are huge for the area because they are repeat visitors to the city,” said Jennifer Filip of Camrose Tourism.

Families attend the festivals and then look for something else to do in the down times.

“I talked to the university about this. We are bringing families with children between ages six and 18 to visit Camrose at least once a year and they are going to grow up coming here. They are getting to know Camrose and the university and it becomes attractive to continue their education here as well,” said Nick. “A lot of communities were not making a big deal out of festivals, but we are.”

Jennifer said the tim-

ing is right. “The spring is the perfect time of year to fill a void in tourism. It’s great to fill in the shoulder season with activities to keep people coming to Camrose.”

The facility was needed in east central Alberta.

“Our facility has drawn dance groups to Camrose to hold festivals. We have the space, a large stage and multiple massive dressing rooms. The only stage bigger is at the Jubilation in Edmonton. We have an attractive practice space adjacent to the stage and we have enough seating in the theatre,” said Nick. “We have free parking and several hotels and motels.”

He recalled a special moment from last year.

“There was this mom kind of dragging her kids into the Lougheed, it was near the end of the season and you could see they were starting to get tired of the dance season. They were wheeling in their luggage and mom and daughter are arguing. Mom walked into the lobby and said, ‘We are back here.’ It literally stopped her in her tracks and all of a sudden she was happy to be in Camrose. That’s the positive difference we want to make.”

For more information on the impact study, contact Victor Goodman, director of community development and innovation at the City of Camrose, at 780-672-4426 or Nick at the Lougheed Centre at 780-608-2925.

Preventing Mass Shootings

The recent mass shooting in Florida is no surprise.

Even though gun homicides have been declining In the US, the US experiences approximately 30,000 gun deaths a year and mass public shootings have become more common. Such carnage is unmatched in the developed world; the gun-related death rate in the US is 10 times that of other advanced industrial countries. Hopefully, the burGeraint Osborne, geoning protests will motivate Sociology, Augustana US politicians to put better Campus, University gun control laws in place. of Alberta Politicians need to stop blaming gun violence on the mentally ill. This is a simplistic and individualistic explanation that disparages and stigmatizes people with mental disorders (most of whom are not violent) and ignores the role of guns and American gun culture in these tragedies.

First, the global data on gun related deaths clearly shows that one of the contributing factors in these mass shootings in the US, is the sheer number of guns in the country and the easy access people have to them. The US has 4.4 per cent of the world’s population, but almost half of the civilian-owned guns around the world, with three per cent of the US population owning 50 per cent of the guns. States that have the most guns, record the most gun deaths. These statistics demonstrate that guns in the home will not make you safer; rather, guns at home are strongly correlated with gun deaths be it from accident, suicide, or homicide.

Second, the data suggests that most of the mass shootings in the US since 1900 are committed by men and the majority of these have been white men, many of whom have a history of abusing their domestic partners.

This suggests that many of these shootings have something to do with a toxic form of masculinity and white men asserting their place in a world where they feel displaced and powerless. Feeling a growing anxiety and fear about a world where they no longer dominate, these men stockpile weapons and lash out.

What should the US government do? The answer is gun control and regulation. It is not unreasonable for a government to control the flow of guns in society. One of the classic defining features of a modern state, is its claim to the monopoly on the legitimated use of violence within its borders. When individuals are able to stockpile weapons and unleash them upon a citizenry causing combat equivalent casualties, then the state has lost such a monopoly and can be considered a failed state. Unless the US government does a better job at regulating firearms, these shootings will get deadlier and the ability of the state to protect its citizens will be called into question.

Those who oppose any form of gun control in the US point to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.

The Second Amendment was a product of a particular social and historical context, written immediately after the War of Independence and designed to ensure a well-armed militia. The move from a collective military intent to a more individual-centred right was further enshrined in the 1970s, when the NRA latched onto the debates around civil liberties to further the freedoms of those citizens who wished to own guns. The growing cultural divide between the left and the right in US politics has only exacerbated the issue and needs to be reversed.

This is not about taking away people’s guns but rather limiting their access to certain types of weapons. People should be allowed to have guns for recreational purposes.

But restrictions on types of weapons and ammunition and background checks are not unreasonable. Countries like Japan and Australia, while extreme in their measures to some, provide strong evidence for gun control and can serve as useful models.

The Second Amendment must be changed to reflect the current social context, especially the lethality of firearms in the 21st century. People on the left of the US culture wars must concede to allowing people to have guns, while people on the right must concede to some measure of gun control. If nothing is done, and military grade weapons remain easily available, the carnage will continue.

Library numbers speak volumes Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The Camrose Public Library welcomes everyone to come and enjoy the services and programs offered. Left to right, library technology programmer Carley Angelstad, program coordinator Nicole Bannick and director Deb Cryderman welcome visitors with open arms.

By Lori Larsen

If numbers speak volumes then the Camrose Public Library (CPL) is being heard and used loud and clear.

In 2017, 104,810 people visited the library in person, while 89,865 visited on-line.

The 5,192 members borrowed 156,641 books, DVDs, audiobooks and eBooks from the library, which averages out to 30 items borrowed, per member.

The library is more than just a place to explore interests in reading, however, it is also a hub of activity for Camrose and area residents, offering 1,838 hands-on programs for children, teens, adults and seniors. In 2017, 35,408 users explored interests and developed skills in all sorts of programs includ-

ing early literacy, computer skills, Spanish and French clubs and even knitting.

There truly is something for everyone. “A big focus for us at the library is trying our best to be an outward facing organization. It’s so important when forming partnerships to ask our prospective partners: What can we do for you, how can the library support what your organization is doing to help our community grow and flourish?,” said CPL program coordinator Nicole Bannick, who will be presenting on behalf of the library at the 2018 Alberta Library Conference held in Jasper at the end of April.

With wifi available to users any time of the day, 365 days of the year, visitors can enjoy access to the world wide web. On

an average day the library provided 230 free wifi sessions and visitors used library computers for an average of 57 hours per day to look for jobs, complete school assignments, research and enjoy some entertainment.

“The technology tutoring program, that we do for all adults, but inadvertently has become mostly a senior program, runs once a week and we have really high attendance. In the month of February, we had 99 attend and 33 just last week. We cover the basics of any one aspect of technology. We have received a lot of positive feedback about that program,” said CPL technology programmer Carley Angelstad who will also be representing at the Alberta Library Conference.

The helpful staff at the library are always available to assist with visitor’s needs and answer questions, where they can, in fact in 2017 library staff answered 80,691 questions.

Despite being around

for 100 years the Camrose Public Library doesn’t stay stagnant, last year alone 3,965 new items were added including the latest in bestselling books and audiobooks, blockbuster movies and binge-worth television series and the library continues to evolve to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

“We work with other libraries within the Parkland region, but also libraries outside of our regions,” noted CPL director Deb Cryderman. “We are partnering with partners across the province and Canada.”

In 2017, the library introduced the Snacks in the Stacks program that offers healthy after school snacks every day to an average of 25 to 35 children. This program is fully funded by generous community donors. Recently the program was nominated for the You Libraries People’s Choice Award.

“Since its inception in September of 2016, Snacks in the Stacks has provided after school snacks and

healthy eating education to over 7,700 children,” added Bannick. “The fact that Snacks in the Stack is funded completely outside of our budget, with 100 per cent of the costs being donated by our community, is something that Camrose Public Library is both proud of and grateful for.”

The library also became part of the Cycling Without Age movement by purchasing a trishaw through the support of New Horizons for Seniors grant, 674 people with limited mobility were able to enjoy the city with a cycle ride.

On top of the variety of services and programs it offers, the library is a place for social engagement and offers a safe, quiet place for anyone and everyone to come and enjoy peace or connect with fellow community members.

Government feels like Groundhog Day

By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

If March 20 felt like Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day, you wouldn’t be wrong as we certainly are reliving Feb. 14, 1995—a day I personally will never forget, a day that prompted me to run for Parliament. The grip the Liberal government is trying to put on law abiding firearms this time is not as tight but nevertheless it is still somewhat of a stronghold.

Last Tuesday, Liberal public safety minister Ralph Goodall introduced Bill C-71, An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms, and while many were ready to jump to compare it to the infamous Bill C-68, I reserved judgement. That reservation lasted all of about twenty seconds as it did not take long to see this legislation for what it really is a backdoor attempt to bring back elements of the wasteful and ineffective longgun registry.

The mid-1990s Bill C-68 created the billion dollar long gun register and made criminals out of law abiding firearm owners who neglected to register their firearms.

Many Canadians, particularly anglers, hunters and farmers, who had been in possession of their firearms for a long time, were made to retroactively, and at a cost, ensure the make, model, serial number, calibre and barrel length of their firearms were properly recorded and placed on the Firearm Registry. Failure to do so came at the expense of a criminal sanction and record.

Soon after forming government in 2006, Stephen Harper and our Conservative Caucus immediately moved to eliminate the long gun registry and to restore the respect law abiding firearm owners had been denied since former Liberal justice minister Allan Rock tabled Bill C-68 on Valentine Day in 1995.

Unfortunately, once again that respect is being stripped away and firearm owners will be made to feel like criminals under the “reference number” provision outlined in Bill C-71. Section 5 of the Firearms Act is being amended to include the requirement for anyone transferring a long gun to obtain a reference number from the Firearm Registrar. Before any firearm can be sold or given, the buyer has to show their license and the seller whether a retailer or private citizen, has to confirm it is valid with the registrar. Currently, vendors are trusted to do a requisite license check without any confirmation.

The registrar will issue the reference number only if they are satisfied the person buying or receiving the firearm holds or is eligible to hold a license.

This provision raises serious concerns not only about the veiled attempt to keep records on firearm owners but also about the boondoggle it will create for vendors at gun shows. One can only imagine the bureaucratic nightmare sellers will encounter, especially at the large weekend gun shows we see throughout Battle River- Crowfoot, as they try to get through to the Registrar before they can legally sell a firearm. How many bureaucrats and at what cost will it take to give them reference numbers? And, what type of information will the Registrar collect in relation to those reference numbers?

Conservatives will never support this legislation and we will continue to fight for concrete actions to keep Canadians safe. We believe that the safety of Canadians should be the number one priority of any government–it certainly was our priority while in government from 2006 to 2015 as evidenced by the numerous justice bills we introduced and passed. Unfortunately, this legislation has no new measures to combat gang or gun violence in urban areas and escalating crime in our rural communities. Bill C-71 does nothing to protect Canadians. Given all the letters, phone calls and emails I have received in the last two days, I know how troublesome this is for many of you!

Rose City Roots invites Union Duke to share third album

By Murray Green

Toronto folk quintet, Union Duke, released their infectious third album, Golden Days and then toured relentlessly and are still showing no signs of slowing down.

Rose City Roots Soci-

ety added a Camrose date to their western Canadian swing. They will be at the Bailey Theatre on April 13 at 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited to hit up some of our favourite venues, see a bunch of familiar faces, and explore

some new towns and theatres across the West,â&#x20AC;? said Jim McDonald.

Golden Days was released on Aug. 5, 2016, a year and a half ago. The album showcases the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature soulful indie rock sound mixed with bluegrass

and country, along with their soaring harmonies with three, four, and even five voices. Recorded live off the floor to capture the raw, joyful energy of their concerts, Golden Days was mixed with Grammy award-winning engineer, Mark Lawson. The

band works hard, travelling back and forth across the country playing to fans young and old from coast to coast. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and they leave every audience smilingâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe the golden days arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so distant after all.

Provincial band honours

Submitted by ECKS music director

Students from ECKS and ECCHS were recently accorded the honour of performing in the Northern Alberta Junior High School Honour Band, which was held in Edmonton from Feb. 28 to March 2.

These students were referred by their music teachers, Bob Bailey, and Graham Green. They came together with other fine young musicians from around the province for an intensive three day rehearsal, culminating in a joint public concert with the Edmonton Wind Sinfonia.

The honour band is an initiative run by the Alberta Band Association. Ecole Charlie Killam and ECCHS have had students involved in this program every year since its inception over 15 years ago. Many of those stu-

By Murray Green

Troy Turner was born to play the blues.

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana born singer and guitarist learned about blues music from a young age.

Turner is sure to satisfy the soul with his true blues spirit. He will be playing at the Bailey Theatre at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 6.

He has inf luences stretching beyond the Baton Rouge blues scene, from the late Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Prince.

Turner has played the New Orleans Jazz and

Heritage Festival every year from 1988 to 1995 and returned to play the festival in 2011 and 2012.

Opening for Turner will be the local trio, Big Smoke Revival who play rock ‘n roll and blues.

Jordan Leden (lead guitar, vocals), Darwin Reddekopp (bass, vocals) and Jeff Nyback (drums) make up the local trio.

Augustana hosts Vocal Arts Festival

By Murray Green

The University of Alberta Augustana Campus will be holding a public Vocal Arts Festival from April 4 to 7 in the Augustana Faith and Life Chapel.

Augustana thirdand fourth-year bachelor of music voice majors from the studio of Harold Wiens, along with Dr. Roger Admiral, piano, will present individual solo recitals. No admission is charged for any of these solo recitals.

The students have been preparing all year for this recital with an enormous amount of work over and above the regular course load. “Normally, we practice about two hours a day. I’m in my fourth year, so it will be 16 songs in length. We put in a lot of hours of practice,” said Eric Skretting of New Norway. “It takes a lot of time to get the rhythm and words right, especially if the song is in another language.”

Third-year students perform for about 30 to 45 minutes and fourth-year students sing for approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

“I’m singing 10 songs because I’m a third-year student. It takes dedication to put on a recital.

You have to interpret the words,” said Gracie Yelland of Camrose. “In putting the songs together, I received input from our professor Harold. He helped me pick songs for my voice type and personality because you want to pick a song that suits you, so you put on a better performance.”

Eric said you want to select a song that reflects your personality, but also songs that are a challenge.

“To you and to progress and reach a whole different side of you as well. Even if it is a small phrase, you want something that connects it to you,” said Eric.

“In a way, you grab songs that you have to dig deeper into. You want to find a place where you resonate with it,” added Gracie.

“You might find it funny, but singing in English is more difficult because in another language you try very hard to connect

VOCAL MAJORS

Murray Green, Camrose Booster University of Alberta Augustana vocal major students have been preparing all year for their recitals from April 4 to 7 in the Augustana Faith and Life Chapel. Back row, from left, students Carrie-Ann Hubbard, Gracie Yelland, Meghan Edgerton and Shamah de Villiers. Front row, from left, Hilda Lam, Eric Skretting and Shaley Bain. The recitals are open to the public.

various sounds to the English language. In another language, you give a little more of yourself in learning the pronunciation and the stresses on words,” explained Eric who is singing in both German and English. The students learn another language through music.

“In English, I think we have a tendency to get a little lazy. With other languages, you learn them in the proper way. I have Italian, German and English songs,” Gracie said.

The recitals count for about 40 per cent of the class mark for fourth-year students and 30 for thirdyear students. “I’ve performed a few recitals, so I’m not as nervous anymore,” shared Eric.

“In a way it makes me nervous, but I have been working towards it for a number of years, so it’s not a huge shock like it was in my second year when we started with four songs in the fall and four more in the spring,” commented Gracie.

“I took voice lessons

with Charlene Brown and told her I wasn’t too serious and that it was my happy thing. I was in Chorazz in high school and some other things and I found a love for it. I thought going to Augustana was perfect because it was home and it’s a great program. In my last year of high school, I came here to listen to the recitals to give me an idea of what it was about. I’ve loved my time at Augustana and its been a blast,” said Gracie. “As far as the future, I’m looking at elementary education and teaching music. However, the door is wide open right now. I have another year to think about that.”

Eric’s journey was a bit different. “The only music that I grew up with was playing band music in school and singing in the church choir. I decided to go to Augustana because it was nearby. I was undeclared and had no idea what I wanted to do. I took a course with Ardelle Ries and she told me that I would be really good singing in our choir. So, I

thought that would be fun.

Other music teachers here started telling me I could go far with a vocal performance degree. I gave it a lot of thought and knew that is where I was meant to be,” shared Eric.

“Augustana has been wonderful and I have received so much one-on-one time with my professors. The teaching here is phenomenal. Looking to the future, I’m still not certain, but I want to keep performing and one day join a professional choir to keep the singing spirit in me.”

The students credited several professors for their improvement over the years at Augustana. “Kathleen Corcoran, Charlene Brown (sessional teacher) and Roger Admiral were all good teachers for us,” said both of the voice majors.

“We want people to come out and listen to us.

It is so much more fun to see smiling faces, rather than empty chairs. Its a whole week of beautiful music,” said Gracie.

“If we can all change

one person’s day, have them forget about their worries and resonate with something we have sung, then we have all done our duty,” finished Eric.

On Wednesday, April 4, Shamah de Villiers performs at 5 p.m. (third-year student voice recital) and Shaley Bain performs at 7 p.m. (graduating student voice recital).

On Thursday, April 5, Gracie performs at 5 p.m. (third-year student voice recital) and Carrie-Ann Hubbard performs at 7 p.m. (graduating student voice recital).

On Friday, April 6, Eric performs at 6 p.m. (graduating student voice recital). and Hilda Lam performs at 8 p.m. (graduating student voice recital).

The sessions finish on Saturday, April 7 with Meghan Edgerton performing at 3 p.m. (student vocal recital).

Get Answers! Does God exist? How can anyone believe in religion when science has neither a need nor a place for God? Is evolution happening today? If God is a God of love, why do we suffer and die?

Creation Ministries International is coming to your area soon, with answers to these important questions. Come and hear Matt Bondy expose the bankruptcy of the evolutionary myth. You’ll be amazed to see how weak

the scientific evidence for evolution is.

This is an issue that affects everyone. Evolution teaches us there is no need for God, there is no spiritual realm and there is no afterlife. According to the theory, spiritual-

ity is just an evolutionary trick of the mind!

The Bible gives a very different picture about the nature of these things.

At this presentation, you will learn how the scientific evidence, when properly understood, confirms the details of the biblical

account. At the same time, we will answer many of the big questions.

To find out more attend on Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m. to listen to A Scientific and Biblical Defense of Creation at the Grace Lutheran Church, 5306-50 Avenue, Camrose.

Promo Code NSP-CAPP-CAMB

Reaching the age of 100 is a milestone to be sure, but imagine adding to that another seven years.

On March 7, Edith Schiiler, now of Camrose, celebrated her 107th birthday with friends and family consisting of many of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren.

Edith was born in northern Saskatchewan on March 7, 1911. She married Clifford Schiiler, and together the couple raised four daughters on the homestead in the Carrot River district. In 1959, the family moved into Carrot River where they enjoyed town life.

A few years after Cliff passed away, Edith at the age of 80, moved to Camrose so she could be closer to her family.

Edith’s granddaughter, Donna Barnes, of Camrose, said. “Our family feels blessed to still have this wonderful woman in our lives.”

When asked what has attributed to her longevity Edith replied “hard work and never giving up.”

Advice that is as powerful today as it would have been 107 years ago.

Fraud prevention information Photo by Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster

Constable Kelly Bauer Submitted by Camrose Wise Owls, written by Const. Kelly Bauer

March is recognized as Fraud Prevention month in Canada.

On March 1, the Camrose Wise Owls, the Alberta Council on Aging and the Camrose Police Service hosted a fraud awareness event. Just over 100 seniors filled the venue to learn more about fraud and how they can better protect themselves.

Although fraud does affect all age groups, seniors are most often the ones victimized. Seniors are typically more trusting, more eager to help someone in need, have more free time to listen to the scammer and typically have money saved for their retirement. The key message at the event was, although there are many different types of frauds, scammers target the same two things; your money or your personal information.

Scammers will contact people by way of a telephone call, door to door, by regular mail, by email or via the Internet. When someone contacts you by any method, you need to be aware and protect yourself.

When someone you don’t know is asking personal questions, you need to be aware that it very likely is a scam.

Just like we teach our children the phrase “Stranger Danger”, this same phrase should be used throughout our lives.

If a person that you have never met before walks up to you on the street and starts asking questions such as your home address, age, what bank you deal at, your bank account or credit card number, would you tell them? If they asked you to hand them a large amount of money would you give it to them? Hopefully not! Treat that person who calls you on the phone, or who sends you an email

as a stranger no matter who they claim to be. If you don’t personally recognize them, don’t share any information or send them money.

Don’t be tricked into whatever they are trying to tell or sell you. If they indicate they are calling from your bank or creditcard company and are asking personal questions, you need to end the conversation. What you can do then is call your bank or credit card directly, at a number you trust, and find out if they were actually trying to contact you. The interesting thing about most frauds is that it is a crime in which you are an active participant. You are knowingly providing someone, a stranger, with something that you should be protecting. You have the ability to stop the fraud. You have the ability to stop yourself from being victimized.

Protect yourself by keeping the mindset that the phone call, email or someone standing on your doorstep could very likely be a professional scammer.

Your own awareness will protect you from someone who is trying to trick you into providing them with your personal information or your hard earned money.

For further information about Wise Owls or to report suspected fraud, contact Camrose Police Services at 780-672-4444.

Dispelling myths about arthritis

By Murray Green

One of the world’s leading rheumatologists talked at this year’s Canadian Rheumatology Association’s Scientific meeting and dispelled several myths on arthritis and gave an update on more promising and innovative arthritis research to come.

Dr. John Esdaile, scientific director at Arthritis Research Canada and Professor of Medicine in Rheumatology at the University of British Columbia, talked with arthritis advocate Cheryl Koehn of Arthritis Consumer Experts, to talk about the latest findings in arthritis research.

Precision, a study being led by Dr. Esdaile and a scientific team at Arthritis Research Canada, is finding that inflam-

mation caused by arthritis often leads to major complications such as stroke and heart attack.

By controlling inflammation through early intervention and treatment options such as Methotrexate, life expectancy may be prolonged and complications may cease. This five-year study could help the more than 5.6 million Canadians affected by arthritis live better and longer lives. Find out more at www.arthritisresearch. ca/precision.

And, did you know that arthritis, often seen as an older person’s disease, is actually not a result of age at all. Dr. Esdaile broke this and several other myths. In fact, young people involved in competitive sports make up roughly

25 per cent of knee osteoarthritis patients. This is because of injury and overuse—preventing injury is key in preventing osteoarthritis.

For others who may experience pain and stiffness in their knees, there is something that can be done. As Dr. Esdaile stated, strengthening the muscles around the knee helps reduce progression of knee osteoarthritis.

He reinforces why arthritis research needs to be a priority. Arthritis research receives only three per cent of the available research dollars in Canada despite being the most prevalent disease.

“You can make a major impact by supporting arthritis research.”

Talk to us today about the benefits of pre-planning funeral arrangements The idea of advance funeral planning is one which many people would rather not think about. However, planning your own funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. At a time of grief, your family members will be spared the stress of making important, emotionally draining decisions.

Pre-planning also ensures your final arrangements will be carried out according to your exact wishes, in a cost-sensitive manner. Call us today for more information about advance funeral planning or to arrange a no-obligation consultation with one of our directors.

Kodiaks eliminated

by Oilers

By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks fought hard to beat Okotoks Oilers in the fourth game of the Alberta Junior Hockey League south semifinal playoffs, but lost a heartbreaker 4-3 in overtime March 20.

After a scoreless even opening period, Okotoks broke the ice mid-way through the frame. Camrose evened the score two minutes later on a Tyler Schendel tally with help from Jacob Kendall and Brock Bremer.

Defenceman Matt Gervais gave the Kodiaks the lead when he connected off a feed from Daine Milgate.

The Oilers tied the game once again, this time on the power play.

Camrose regained the lead in the third when McKenzie Welke found the back of the net with Dawson Schwengler assisting on the play. A late goal by the Oilers sent the contest into overtime. Tanner Laderoute ended the Kodiaks season mid-way through the extra frame.

Goalie Griffin Bowerman stopped 42 of 46 shots sent his way. Camrose fired 31 shots at the Oilers’ cage.

In game three, the Kodiaks scored first, but Okotoks fought back with a goal later in the middle frame and netted the winner in the third to take a 2-1 victory and a 3-0 stranglehold in the series, March 19.

Carson Welke scored early in the second after a feed from Ryan McKinnon and Cale Chalifoux.

Goalie Bowerman stopped 30 of 32 shots, while Camrose recorded 26 shots.

In game two, the Oilers blanked Camrose 3-0 on the strength of goalie Riley Morris who denied the Kodiaks on all 21 shots they directed his way, March 17.

Bowerman faced 29 shots, making 26 saves for Camrose.

In the first contest, Okotoks won 5-2 on home ice, March 16. After Okotoks went up 1-0 in the first period, McKenzie Welke tied the game just 24 seconds into the middle frame. However, the Oilers got back on track with power play and shorthanded makers later in the period.

Kyler Kupka scored for the Kodiaks in the third, between Okotoks tallies.

Goalie Bowerman turned away 25 of the 30 shots he faced. Camrose had only 19 shots on goal.

Sharon Marie Biollo (nee Roth) September 28, 1945 ~ March 20, 2018 Sharon Marie was born September 28, 1945 at Camrose, Alberta to Bill and Mary Roth. She was the only girl in a family of eight. She passed away peacefully on March 20, 2018 after a battle with cancer.

Sharon went to grade one at St. Leo’s School in Spring Lake and the rest of her schooling was spent at Heisler. Sharon was active in several sports during her school years and this love of sports carried on throughout her life whether it was watching her grandchildren, the Blue Jays on TV, or the Olympics.

In 1965, she married Ron Clennin and into their lives came four children – Darren, Brent, Trudy and Jane. Sharon worked hard on the family farm for many years tending to the pigs, chickens, cows and the garden.

She left the farm, going to work at Bethany in Camrose where her work ethic again was evident in the laundry there. It was at this time, through mutual friends, she met John Biollo. They were married in 1997 and she became a part of another complete family unit which included three more children.

They lived in Leduc and, after John’s passing, Sharon decided to move to Providence Place to be closer to her children.

Sharon loved to joke and tease, her many card games, her coffee, and country music – especially Big Valley Jamboree. She touched the lives of many people and made many memories along the way.

Sharon will be lovingly remembered by her children Darren, Brent (Carla), Trudy (Garth) Wolbeck; stepchildren Brad (Anita) Biollo, Derek (Ascuik) Biollo and Michelle; son-in-law Jay Birkjar; and Shauna Clennin; six grandchildren Ashley, Kaj, Lane, Taylor, Courtney and Kelsey; and stepgrandchildren Steven, Anna, Logan and Nicolas. She leaves to mourn her six brothers Ken (Christa), Roger (Truus), Stan (Cindy), Larry (Gail), Doug and Randy (Barb); sisters-in-law Linda A. Roth, Elaine Biollo and Marilyn (Peter) Sorochuk; brother-in-law Doug Biollo; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

She was predeceased by her husband John; her daughter Jane; her parents Bill and Mary Roth; brother Gordon; infant brother Joseph; and sisters-in-law Linda L. Roth and Barb Biollo.

Q.

Are all Battle River Community Foundation funds the same?

A.

No! The Foundation offers seven different kinds of funds, one of which can certainly be tailored to suit your personal philanthropic needs. The most general type is a “Community Fund” which allows the BRCF Grants Committee of the day to choose projects that address emerging needs throughout the area served.

Doreen Avonne Anderson December 11, 1931 ~ March 14, 2018 Doreen Avonne Anderson of Camrose, formerly of Edberg, passed away on Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at the age of 86 years.

Doreen was born on December 11, 1931 in the Bittern Lake area, the third child of August and Ethel Anderson. The family lived there for a few years before moving to the Edberg area, to live on a farm her grandfather purchased in the early part of the century. It was here that she spent most of her life. She attended school at Dried Meat Lake and Edberg.

Doreen entered the University of Alberta in the fall of 1949 to work toward her Junior “E” teaching certificate. She completed her education degree after several summer school sessions.

Her teaching career began in the fall of 1950, in a one-room country school north of Donalda called Ibsen. The following fall, she moved to Meeting Creek teaching grades 5 and 6 for one year, then another year in the grade 2 and 3 classroom. She began the 1953 term at Edberg School where she taught grades 2 and 3 and eventually grade 1 where she remained until her retirement in 1988. Doreen often commented she wished she would have kept a list of students and anecdotal journal of the amusing tales they told her over the years. Because of her many years in the same school, parents could tell their children they had Miss Anderson as their teacher as well.

Doreen lived many years on the home farm with her parents and brother, where she helped with many aspects of farming. After her parents passed away, she assumed the role of homemaker for Allan. She tended her flowers and a large garden each summer, raising and preserving vegetables. Seldom would you find her idle, as she always found something that needed to be done.

Because of Parkinson’s disease, she had a fall which resulted in a broken hip in the spring of 2011. After a hospital stay, she moved into Bethany Meadows, Spruce Cottage in June of the same year, where she resided until her passing. Her final years were spent in a wheelchair. We often found her folding laundry when we came to visit. She had to be busy doing something, but Parkinson’s slowly took its toll.

Doreen is survived by sisters Audrey Robertson and Enid O’Connor; brother Don (Sharon); nieces and nephews Heather (Doug) Howard, Shane O’Connor, Colleen (Hadley) Hicks, Sheena Anderson, Darcy (Janice) Anderson, Twyla (Darren) Badry; great-nieces and great-nephews Nicole (Peter) Neufeld, Kurt Howard, Dallas Spongberg, Trysta Anderson, Hayden and Seth Badry and Madeline Anderson; and great-great-nephews Timothy and Elias Neufeld.

She was predeceased by parents August and Ethel; brother Allan; nephews Scott and Ladds Robertson and Kelly Anderson; brothers-in-law Ron O’Connor and David Robertson; and greatnephew and great-niece Wyatt and Reegen Spongberg.

A funeral service was held on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at 12:00 noon from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Garth Wehrfritz-Hanson officiating. Interment has taken place in the Edberg Cemetery. If friends and family so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Parkinson Society of Alberta or to the Edberg Cemetery.

The family of

Carolyn Marie Jacobson January 25, 1945 ~ March 22, 2018 Carolyn Marie Jacobson of Bashaw, Alberta passed away on Thursday, March 22, 2018 at the age of 73 years.

Carolyn Marie Jacobson was born in Glendive, Montana on January 25, 1945, the eldest child of the Rev. Waldo H. Wall and Wilma Dee (nee) Sloan and fell asleep in Christ on March 22, 2018 at the age of 73.

Her childhood was spent in Montana, Manitoba and Idaho. After high school, she attended the Montana Institute of the Bible and Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT, and later, the University of Alberta in Edmonton. On June 19, 1965, Carolyn and the Rev. Joseph Robert Jacobson were joined in marriage in Challis, Idaho. Their marriage was blessed with two children Joseph Bradley and Theresa Marie; and nine grandchildren. Alberta was home to Carolyn and Joseph for the entire 52 years and 8 months of their marriage. From 1965 to 1985, they served Lutheran parishes in Westlock, Calgary, Camrose and Donalda. From 1985 to 1994, they resided in Edmonton while Joseph served as Bishop of the Alberta Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.

In 1994, they retired for the first time to their little farm east of Bashaw. At Easter Vigil 2000, they were received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. When Joseph was ordained a Catholic Deacon and Priest in 2007 for service in the Archdiocese of Grouard-McLennan, they moved to McLennan where Carolyn served as organist at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, while Joseph served under Archbishop Gerard Pettipas as Chancellor of the Archdiocese and Parochial Vicar of the Cathedral Parish. In 2014, they retired for the second time back to the farm.

Carolyn’s love of people and her deep commitment to working for their well-being were inspired in her by God’s love for her and for all His children revealed in Jesus Christ. The various situations in which she found herself throughout her married life offered her many opportunities to express that love, and many people have been warmed by it. In all her roles as spouse, partner in ministry, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, teacher, musician, water colour artist, refugee sponsor and homemaker, Carolyn has always been her beautiful ingenuous self-guileless, undevious and keenly alert to whatever was going on in the people around her.

Carolyn is survived by her husband Fr. Joseph Robert; their son Joseph Bradley (Cindy); their daughter Theresa Marie (Gerald Levasseur); her mother-in-law Violet Jacobson and stepmother Mary Lou Wall; her sisters Marjorie (James Peake), Lorene (Judkins) and Katherine (Skretting); her brothers Dwayne, Michael (Christine) and Matthew; grandchildren Daniel and Rebecca Jacobson and Nathan, Kyra, Ashton, Ryley Ray, Savannah, Riyo, and Adam Levasseur; Joe (Bonsan), Krista (Hynes) and their children Kail, Kya and Karter; and numerous extended family members and friends.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27, 2018 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Camrose with Fr. Larry Pederson, celebrant, and Deacon Doug Tien, homilist.

Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Bashaw with Archbishop Gerard Pettipas, celebrant, and Fr. Mirek Kostarzewski, concelebrant. Interment will take place in the Meeting Creek Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made in Carolyn’s name to CLBI, WMPL, Catholic Missions in Canada, Chalice International and/or CNEWA-Canada.

She was also a member of the Moose Lodge for many years.

In later years, Terry and Alma moved to Rosealta Lodge, where they had many friends and enjoyed it there. Later when Alma needed more care, she moved to Bethany Meadows. Terry went to visit Alma every day until later when he also moved into Bethany Meadows. Alma was well taken care of and enjoyed all of the staff very much. She had a few favorite girls she spoke highly of; she called them her angels. Alma had such a great sense of humor and was always quick with a hilarious comment.

Another great pastime of Alma’s was feeding people. It was nothing for Grandma Haney to whip up a big meal in no time. Her buns, pies and baking were loved by all. She was such a great cook and seldom needed a recipe.

She will be deeply missed by all of her family and friends. She was so easy to love.

A Funeral Service was held at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Mary Ann Pastuck officiating.

If family and friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Bayliss writes books on working in emergency medicine

By Lori Larsen

Facing the challenges of working in emergency medicine and emergency services can be an emotional roller coaster and, often times, overwhelming.

For Dale Bayliss, registered nurse in emergency at Wetaskiwin Hospital and Care Centre and published author, the situations he has experienced over his longtime career in emergency medical services led him on a journey of storytelling, in an effort to reveal the sometimes harsh truths and relay an important message to all emergency service providers, they are not alone.

“When I was 16 years old, I decided to start with ambulance,” said Dale. “In the small town where we lived, there was nobody really trained in ambulance.”

After losing a young friend in a car accident, Dale made a decision to devote his life to emergency medical care. “He passed away about an hour after laying there, with no ambulance coming.”

Dale began by taking an EMT course while he was still attending Grade 10. “From that day on, I said this is how I can help people.”

As Dale continued to learn through work with the ambulance, he realized he needed to do even more.

In 1989, he became a registered nurse and began working at Wetaskiwin Hospital where, off and on, he has spent the majority of his career.

In 1996, he moved from Wetaskiwin to Lac La Biche to pursue a passion for teaching, eventually securing a teaching position in 1999 with Camrose Lutheran College (now University of Alberta Augustana Campus) in the Paramedic program.

“In around 2009, due to educational cuts, the program was traded to Lakeland College and the program (including EMR, EMT and paramedics) was taught in Camrose at the old firehall. Thousands of students went through that program.”

After more education cuts in 2013, the program ceased and Dale returned to Wetaskiwin Hospital to work in emergency and the special care unit. “I started working more and more ambulance (paramedic),” he said. “I just can’t quit working ambulance. It’s a passion. Once you start working ambulance, you can’t walk away from it.”

But work in emergency medicine can take its toll and Dale related a heart-wrenching incident that occurred three years ago in January. “One of our students (past Lakeland paramedic program) who had become

a paramedic in Edmonton, committed suicide.”

The news came as somewhat of a shock to Dale, who then started looking back, soon discovering a couple more students had also taken their own lives.

“Three of my students committed suicide. I thought, this is insane, and looked more into it and found more badness,” Dale said, indicating 400 physicians a year, in the United States, take their own lives.

With a mission to help people in emergency services and medicine in whatever way he could, Dale began writing a series of books. “In a book, you can actually do a lot of things to help and educate people.

As they read a story, they can realize they are not alone.”

the hands of her mother. “I don’t know what happened to her after that day, but I put her as my partner in the book.”

It was important for Dale to illustrate the bad times as well as the good times in his books. “We have some really good calls, but we also do the bad calls and I want to show how we can do the bad calls and stick together. If a person is shot (for example), at the end of the day, we did everything we could to save the person, and they can’t take that away from us.”

Ultimately, Dale wants to raise awareness with his series of books on the struggles and stress people who work in emergency medicine and emergency services go through on a daily basis. “I want to try

afforded him an opportunity to grow and gain invaluable knowledge on, not only the industry, but how to deal with the stresses encountered.

The second part of his series includes four more books; book five, First Responders–The EMRs, book six, Primary Care Paramedic–EMTs the BLS Angels–The EMTs, book seven, Paramedics–The Last Stand, and concluding with book eight, The Emergency Medical Survival Guide. These books are intended to bring light to EMS, medical and hospital-related content.

“In book eight, I put it all together and made sure I didn’t missed anyone. It’s emergency medicine Dale’s way including some emergency medicine secrets.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Dale Bayliss holds up the first two books of the series he is writing on working in the challenging field of emergency medicine.

What started out as an idea for one book soon became Dale’s quest to create a series of books aimed at “changing the world, if only one person at a time.”

“I laid it out and decided to write eight books.”

Dale’s first book, entitled Caretakers & Lifesavers: My Memoirs (published in July 2017), set the foundation for the following books in his series. “It’s my start in EMS until last year and has many valuable life lessons,” noted Dale, “And it is a true inspiration to many.”

Book two, Between Life & Death–Surviving the Darkness (published in October 2017), is Dale’s EMS inspirational book to help all people deal with stress, life’s challenges, personal challenges and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) from a real-life approach. “Two-thirds of the book is real and onethird is fiction,” said Dale, adding that from Chapter Four on, his partner was Angel, a fictional character he created from a real-life experience of saving a baby who was being killed at

and show people by using some of my real experiences and some fictional parts and help build a healing environment. No matter how bad things can get for them at work or after work, I want them to know they are never truly alone.

They always have a backup plan, a lifeline. I want people to know it’s okay to feel terrible after the most tragic events we often see.”

Book three, entitled Lifesaving 101–My Hospital, Health Care Life, follows Dale’s life career as a nurse. “The whole idea behind this book was to show people we are all part of a team. We face many challenges in the health care industry. Helping people is often a very hard and complex world when it comes to injury, illness and suffering.”

Book four, To Live Again–Facing the Darkness, is intended to be an inspirational book to rebuild the EMS system, as Dale puts it, in Dale’s way.

As Dale continues to write books, he discovers that his years of working in emergency medicine have

“My motto in all my books is, ‘We do whatever we can and we do our best to make a difference.’”

Aside from sharing his experiences, wealth of knowledge and own personal struggles in his writing to bring awareness to the challenges faced by people working in emergency medicine and emergency service, Dale has also created Dale’s Foundation to Care. The foundation uses 25 per cent from the books’ royalties to help people in need, animals in need and support trauma care in Alberta.

“Right now, funds will assist people who cannot afford their prescriptions and those who need assistance to pay for veterinary care in Wetaskiwin,” explained Dale. “In the near future, I would like to set up the same thing in Viking that will help Fire and EMS purchase additional equipment and supplies.”

Dale has also organized awareness and fundraising walks around Viking. “All the donations go to the Alberta Paramedic Association, but the walk

helps build awareness at all levels–fire, police, medical. Last year, the money we raised went to eight different people, basically for counselling, but one was a paramedic who had died and the money went towards assisting his wife.”

This year, the walk is planned for June 2 and 3.

“We will be walking from Fort Smith straight to Viking over 24 hours. All the money goes towards the cause.”

It is a cause that Dale believes in wholeheartedly.

His passion to help is farreaching and he hopes it goes even further by trying to have EMR or first responder education implemented into the schools, specifically Grade 11.

“Teach them first aid, CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and trauma care.

And teach about drugs. We have to stop it and the only way is to use our children/youth. They are the only ones who can change the future. If we can save one kid’s life, we have done something.”

Dale’s dedication to his career has not been without its share of strife.

He admits at times he has suffered from bouts of great distress. “I was having some bad times when I wrote the books. I pulled back all the calls I had attended. It all came back.

I was scared to sleep, so I went to see a counsellor.

In 36 years, I had never talked to anybody (about the emotional stress of the job.)”

Dale also spoke fondly of how pet therapy was crucial in helping him cope, referring specifically to his rescue dog, Tinsel.

“We called her Tinsel the Terminator, but really all she wanted to do was give you love. If I had a bad day and came home, that dog would try to get inside my heart.”

As Dale spoke of Tinsel’s passing from pancreatic cancer, it was clear how she impacted Dale’s life and the lives of many others.

“One night I had a lady in ICU. She was a really sick, 43-year-old cardiac patient, and she was having a really bad night. So I had a friend bring in my dogs.

Tinsel jumped up beside the patient and laid beside her and just hugged her.”

In conclusion, Dale softly expressed himself on colleagues who have taken their own lives. “That’s what hurts the most. All they do is give their best and it kills them.

“Perhaps by sharing the stories and experiences that a lot of us have had will encourage others to share their stories and eventually it will become acceptable and easier to talk about trauma in the caregiving profession.”

Hollar makes noise at World of Wheels Edmonton

By Murray Green

Local car owner Duane Hollar, of Irma was featured in the 19th annual World of Wheels in Edmonton earlier this month. He placed second in the 1970-79 conservative hardtop category with his 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1. The award was presented by the International Show car Association.

“I bought the car in 1976 at Hugh McCalls Southpark in Edmonton for $4,000 and have had it ever since. I had some of the body work done in Camrose at Showtime and they asked if I would show it in their display,” shared Duane. “I first had it rebuilt in 1992 and then again last year. It was almost a four year job this time, but I tried to keep it original. I had the 351 Cleveland engine (four speed transmission) redone at NAPA and put 10 to 1 pistons in it, electric fan, aluminum manifolds, chrome headers and new chrome exhaust.”

The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package originally introduced by Ford in August 1968 as a package for the 1969 model year. The Mach 1 title adorned performance oriented Mustang offerings until the original retirement of the moniker in 1978. “I always liked the style. I talked to a guy that had a 1972 one time and then I was looking for one.

I liked the fastback style, so when I found the ‘73 I grabbed it.”

As part of a Ford heritage program, the Mach 1 package returned in 2003 as a high performance version of the New Edge platform. Visual connections to the 1969 model were integrated into the design to pay homage to the original.

This generation of the Mach 1 was discontinued after the 2004 model year, with the introduction of the fifth-generation Mustang.

“The paint is a 2013 Ford Deep Impact Blue and the stripe is clear coated in with no lines on it as well,” said Duane.

Ford first used the name

MAKING NOISE

Submitted Duane Hollar of Irma and his 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 placed second in the 1970-79 conservative hardtop category in the Edmonton World of Wheels event held on March 2 to 4.

Mach 1 in its 1969 display of a concept called the Levacar Mach I at the Ford Rotunda.

This concept vehicle used a cushion of air as propulsion on a circular dais. “I entered the World of Wheels show as a favour to Guy, owner of Showtime Auto Refinishing, but normally I like to go to local car show and shines.

I like to talk to the people and share stories with people in the area. I like going to shows in Camrose, Round Hill, Lloydminster and Vegreville.”

In 1973, the front bumper was enlarged in accordance with new NHTSA standards and all Mustang models had their sportlamps changed to a vertical orientation at each end of the grille. As the new bumper covered part of the front valance (and therefore the previous turn signal location), the sportlamps also served as turn signals. Both a Mach 1 and base grille were offered with differing insert patterns.

“I have three other Mustangs and an F-150 1979 four-wheel drive truck that I take to shows.”

The rear bumper was also mounted on new impactabsorbing extensions, which caused the bumper to protrude from the body further than before and the 1973 Mach 1 graphics were also changed. Engine options remained the same as in 1972. “I try to do as much of the mechanical as I can, but I send out the major autobody work.”

Due to trouble getting the Ram Air option approved for emissions reasons, Ford offered an exterior decor option in 1973 that consisted of the two-tone hood treatment, but without the actual functional components of the Ram Air system.

Actual engine options available with Ram Air in 1973 were limited to the 351 2V, even though the 351 4V Cobra Jet (without Ram Air) remained optional on every model. Standard engines

were the 302 Windsor, 351 Cleveland 2-barrel and a 351 4-barrel.

A yellow 1973 Mach 1 was driven by H. B. Halicki in the 1974 film Gone in 60 Seconds. The car, nick-

named Eleanor, was actually a 1971 model fitted with a 1973 front clip. The stunt car sustained multiple crashes, but still survives and runs to this day.

Time to tune up

By Lori Larsen

With spring just around the corner, fingers crossed, it’s time to ready your vehicle with some spring maintenance.

Winter’s harsh temperatures, icy and snowy road conditions and sanding and salting of roadways can be very hard on your vehicle so it is imperative to get a full spring inspection and prepare it for the, often times, slushy conditions.

The following are a few suggestions on how to tune up for spring.

Begin by having your oil and oil filter changed. Regular oil changes are always recommended for your vehicle and the spring is no exception. In some instances this may mean changing to a different grade oil.

Neglecting oil changes can not only affect how well your engine runs but can damage your engine.

Check all your vehicle fluids including power steering, brake, transmissions, windshield wiper and coolant. If any of the levels are low, have them topped up or have them flushed/ replaced as recommended by your owner’s manual.

With spring weather comes sloppy road conditions, so replace wiper blades that are in poor repair or worn out. Make sure you carry extra windshield wiper fluid in your vehicle or at your home.

Winter roads are notorious for sand and rocks that can be thrown up onto your vehicle’s windshield. If the windshield has small chips, get them filled before they become too large. If the windshield is cracked, have it replaced.

Damage to your windshield can decrease the overall effectiveness of airbags, seatbelts, roof stability, and your personal safety, in the event of an accident.

Maintain your vehicle’s cleanliness. Dirty windshields and windows can cause sight line obstruction and dirty headlights, brakelights/taillights may reduce the ability for other drivers to notice your vehicle. Sand and salt build up on roadways can also cause damage to your vehicle.

Maintain your vehicle’s tire pressure (including

Spring thaw brings its share of road hazards

By Lori Larsen

As soon as the weather starts to warm up, the snow melts and the roads, for the most part, become dry and bare and some motorists may become a little less cautious on the roadways.

Spring thaw can create its own set of hazards on the roads.

When snow and ice thaws, water seeps into

existing cracks in the roadway softening the gravel, which expands, cracks and breaks when the temperatures go below freezing, this in turn creates potholes. Filling potholes during the winter months involves a “cold mix” which does not harden like a “hot mix” used during the summer, the result, potholes may have to be refilled sev-

eral times until the warm weather returns. Potholes can damage your vehicle, especially when hit at higher rates of speed. Slowing down and being on the lookout for posted warnings and familiar potholes can reduce the likelihood of damage and also avoid accidents.

The thaw/freeze cycle plays havoc with roadways and pedestrians walkways.

Just when roadways appear to be clear and dry, what may in fact happen during thaw/freeze is the occurrence of black ice, which is nearly transparent making it difficult to see when driving. Bridge decks and overpasses are especially prone to black ice and can be very dangerous. Reducing your speed and increasing the distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you will assist in the event of sliding after sudden braking.

Melting snow creates water build up on roadways which can cause a vehicle to hydroplane very easily.

Using cruise control is not recommended during wet road conditions. Once again use extra caution by slowing down and maintaining a greater distance between vehicles. When safe to do so, drive carefully around large puddles of water that could be covering large potholes. Never put yourself or others in danger to avoid puddles. If it is not safe to avoid the puddle, slow down and go cautiously.

Be aware of pedestrians around puddles as well and be careful not to splash them. Dirty water splash-

ing onto your vehicle can also impair your vision and may lead to an accident.

The build up of wet snow coupled with warming temperatures and water creates another hazard, slush, especially on curbsides. Slush can grab your vehicle and cause it to suddenly slow down or veer off. Decrease speed in and around slush and don’t pan-

hazards that accompany spring, poorly maintained vehicles can be a hazard to others on the road. Winter can be hard on vehicles so a spring inspection and tune up of your vehicle is strongly recommended.

Begin by replacing your windshield wipers and ensuring your fluid is topped off at all times. Wash your vehicle to remove any

ic if you lose control of your vehicle. Remain calm and regain control by removing your foot from the accelerator and steering in the direction you are skidding, do not oversteer and do not steer into oncoming traffic and remember, do not suddenly apply the brakes.

Slush can also accumulate on your windshield. Make sure your windshield wipers are in good working order and you have plenty of windshield wiper fluid at all times.

Besides the natural

build up of snow, slush, dirt, ice and any chemicals or salt used on roadways during the winter. Have all your fluids checked. Check your brakes and tires for excessive wear. Once the threat of any spring storms is over, have your winter tires replaced with your summer tires.

With dryer roads comes more traffic and the possibility of more incidents. Be prepared for spring road conditions, slow down and always make safety a number one priority.

MAINTENANCE • TIRES • BRAKES • OIL & FILTER • BATTERIES • ALIGNMENT

By Lori Larsen

Spring time has us all chomping at the bit to get outside and enjoy the warmth of the sun and travel about enjoying the wide open road.

Unfortunately, along with the warmer days, comes mud, slush and muck, and maintaining a shiny vehicle can be a challenge. But keeping your vehicle clean can and will extend its life.

Check out some easy and reasonably inexpensive ways to keep your fourwheeler sparkling.

Begin by ensuring your vehicle is washed and waxed on a regular basis.

It is not recommended to wash your vehicle when outside temperatures dip below -20 Celsius because water on the car will freeze before you have an opportunity to wipe off hinges, weather stripping around doors, windows and trunks and other parts causing them to freeze and become stuck. If you use an automated car wash select one with a industrial dryer to assist in the drying.

Removing grime, dirt, mud and slush from your vehicle can prevent moisture from building up in the dirt and eventually causing rust. Always use a clean soft towel or microfibre cloth and mild, environmentally friendly detergent to wash the exterior of your vehicle.

Finish by applying a car wax that will seal the paint, add shine and repel water beads. When waxing your vehicle, do it out of direct sunlight and test the product on a less conspicuous area first.

Toothbrushes are a perfect tool for getting those hard to reach places in your vehicle. Add baking soda and water and you get the extra bonus of removing odours.

Shiny clean windows make spring driving so much easier and safer. Use a mixture of warm water, white vinegar and mild dish soap in a spray bottle for streak free results.

Clean vehicle Continued from page 31

Don’t forget under the hood. Dirt and grime can build up under the hood, over the long months of winter and have the potential for causing problems.

Wipe down the engine with a damp clean cloth.

Ensure your wipers are in good repair. The cost of replacing wipers every spring far outweighs the cost of repairs of a mishap due to poor visibility.

Believe it or not toothpaste is a great cleaning agent for your vehicle’s headlights. The brighter the lights the better you’ll see, and be seen.

Cleaning the interior of your vehicle is just as important in prolonging its life and leaves a lasting impression on your passengers.

Car mats can become clogged with road salt, mud and pea gravel. Remove the mats and use a power washer to thoroughly clean them.

Wipe down all consoles and clean out cup holders using a damp cloth with either store bought cleaners meant for vehicle interiors, or a home mixture of warm water, baby or mineral oil, white vinegar and dish soap in a spray bottle.

Using a can of compressed air is an easy and extremely effective way to remove dust and debris from your vents.

Upholstery can be a dust, dirt and hair attractant. Use a spray bottle of water to lightly moisten upholstery, then use a dry clean cloth to wipe down.

For tougher stains consider a clothing stain remover.

To remove the remnants of Fiddo’s car ride (pet hair), after spraying the upholstery with water, use a squeegee to wipe hair away.

Remember to vacuum your vehicle interior frequently. Dust and dirt that are left can settle into the floor mats and upholstery.

While the vacuum is out, don’t forget the trunk.

All clean and shiny, your vehicle will be ready to hit the roads and enjoy the spring and summer sun.

Police association community donations

By Lori Larsen

The Camrose Police Association (CPA) presented a total of $5,500 to five not-for-profit organizations within Camrose.

“The Camrose Police Association is striving to provide resources to organizations within our community through a community grant program,” said Camrose Police Service crime prevention/community relations Constable Kelly Bauer.

“The monetary grants are intended to support projects that provide a direct service to the community and are responsive to community needs and issues.”

Groups or clubs inter-

ested in receiving funding through the grants are required to complete a grant submission package and forward their requests

to the CPA. The funds donated were raised during the

annual CPA golf

tournament last fall.

Be Thorough

PERSONAL DRINKING A PROBLEM? Alcoholics Anonymous, call 780-672-9406 or 780-608-8798.

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

LOST and FOUND

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Eating disorders more common than thought

By Murray Green

Eating disorders are common and take many forms, such as anorexia, bulimia or binge eating.

Experts believe that a number of physical, psychological, cultural and social factors contribute to the development of an eating disorder.

Eating disorders are

more common in teenage girls and young women, but they can occur at any age and in both sexes.

Eating disorders increase a person’s risk of other health problems related to a poor diet. These can include dehydration, malnutrition, menstrual period changes, thinning

of the bones (osteoporosis) and, in severe cases, heart and other organ problems.

It can be frightening to realize that someone you care about has an eating disorder. If you think a friend or loved one has an eating disorder, you can talk to your friend or loved one. Urge them to talk to

someone who can help, like a doctor or counsellor. Offer to go along. Tell someone who can make a difference, like a parent, teacher, counsellor, or doctor.

You can get more information by calling Health Link at 811 or the Mental Health Helpline at 1-877303-2642.

When the light turns green, a flash of fur and fury comes racing down a 51-foot track, leaping over hurdles to a box where a tennis ball awaits to be released.

The sport is known as Flyball. The competitors consist of a variety of highly trained, intensely motivated dogs and on Feb. 18, Camrose Regional Exhibition hosted Camrose’s first Flyball competition.

“Each race is completed by a team of four dogs that are seeded into divisions according to team speeds,” explained Camrose Flyball dog handler Ferne Brown.

The race is run as a relay beginning with the first dog racing down the track, over four hurdles (heights are determined by the smallest dog on each team) to the end where the dog must press a pedal on a box releasing a tennis ball to be caught in the dog’s mouth and carried back down the track, over the hurdles and across the finish line. As the first dog approaches the start/finish line, the next dog can cross the start line, a process that is so precise it can literally be missed in the blink of an eye.

The first team to have all dogs cross the finish line with no errors (ball is dropped or the next relay dog is released to early), wins the heat.

“The fastest team in Alberta had a time of 15.42 seconds,” noted Brown, “And the fastest team holds the record of just over 14 seconds.”

At that timed speed, each dog is travelling approximately 25 feet per second.

“We would like to see more competitions and teams in Camrose,” added Brown, noting it is one of the fastest growing dog sports.

The sport began in the late 1960s-early 1970s in southern California and has since expanded to many countries including Canada. Its popularity is growing because the sport is open to any breed of dog.

The sport offers the dogs physical exercise, training and the reward of pleasing the handlers.

As for the human elements of the teams, it offers an opportunity to work with and train dogs and socialize with other members of the sport.

These amazing athletes are so focused and dedicated that seeing really is believing. But whatever you do, don’t blink.

For more information on Flyball, contact Ferne Brown at email rugratandfriends@shaw.ca or telephone 780-679-7891.

High school students speak about the value of French Immersion Submitted

Grade 11 and 12 students at École Camrose Composite High School are getting close to completing a full 13-year, Kindergarten to Grade 12 French Immersion experience.

This year’s grad class is only the third in the local program’s history. The French Immersion schooling story in Camrose began in 2004, with French programming offered at the Kindergarten and Grade 1 level only. Each year, as the students got a year older, the program expanded by one grade level too. The first students and the program started Grade 12 at the same time.

Though this year’s Grade 12 class is small, there are literally hundreds of students in Camrose French Immersion classrooms, now stretching from pre-kindergarten opportunities all the way through high school. The program runs in three Camrose schools, side-byside with English classrooms at École Sifton, École Charlie Killam and École Camrose Composite High schools. This year Battle River School Division is also considering adding a late-enrollment option, so students don’t have to start their French studies when they start school, but could begin French Immersion when they reach Grade 6.

Going into the high school classrooms, all the discussion takes place in French and all the information written on the whiteboard or tacked to the walls is in that language too. The teachers talk quickly and expressively and the students are clearly taking it all in.

But what’s it like to be going to school in French in East Central Alberta? We asked this year’s most seasoned students a few ques-

tions that come up regularly regarding French Immersion.

Do you come from a family that speaks French?

Is it more difficult to do well without that support?

Joseph Turcan, in Grade 12, says he and his sister are both enrolled in French Immersion, but there’s no French background at all in their household. Joseph says he and his sibling don’t really speak French outside of school, but that hasn’t stopped them from succeeding in the program at all.

Kassidy Cameron, a Grade 11 student, says her parents took French back in their own high school days, but they aren’t really fluent enough to keep up with her and her brother now. She doesn’t see it as an issue for her learning either.

Emma-Leigh Simonot’s father is fluent in French and Hannah Gau has some French influence in her family, too. But they, like their classmates, believe the program has been more of an influence on their learning than their family has been.

“I never thought of French Immersion as making school harder for me,” says Hannah.

Does taking classes in French make you a better student?

Molly Boyd, a Grade 11 student, says you need to be a motivated and committed student when you start the program and Emma-Leigh agrees, adding, “We tend to be pretty dedicated students and we probably would be no matter what.”

But the students also agree that the ongoing work of switching languages while they think, write and learn does deepen their thinking and their ability

to take what they know in one situation and apply it to another situation.

What’s next after high school? Is there more French in your future?

Joseph will be entering the trades and he’s excited about the increased flexibility that his French-language learning will bring.

“It gives me a one-up on everyone else,” he explains.

“I can move around and be employable more places.”

Leif Hvenegaard, in Grade 11, also thinks that having a second language will give him more opportunities. “I’m going to be travelling and studying abroad,” he says.

Hannah says she can see herself taking additional French studies in University. “I want to study speech language and I can take additional training to have that degree in both English and French, which is awesome. I never would have thought of that without being in French Immersion.”

And for Emma-Leigh, who is looking at a career in the Canadian film industry, which is mostly developed in Quebec, having French will be a great asset.

Would you recommend the program to others?

The students agree that the French Immersion program is “pretty decent”.

They call themselves a tight group, appreciate all that being part of the local program has brought them and believe it will get even better as it continues to mature and grow.
